This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: do not use internal iio_dev lock to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-testing branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 20228a1d5a55e7db0c6720840f2c7d2b48c55f69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Nuno=20S=C3=A1?= <nuno.sa@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 13:28:07 +0200 Subject: iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: do not use internal iio_dev lock MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Drop 'mlock' usage by making use of iio_device_claim_direct_mode(). This change actually makes sure we cannot do a single conversion while buffering is enable. Note there was a potential race in the previous code since we were only acquiring the lock after checking if the bus is enabled.
